They are strong, alert, and adventurous with lustrous coats and round, curious eyes. Siberians are a landrace breed, meaning they developed over time by adapting to their surroundings – which explains the thick coats needed to face those harsh Russian winters! Siberian cats are very personable and want to be near their owners. They enjoy the company of children, dogs, and other animals. They are fearless and easygoing. Not much disturbs their natural calm and equanimity.
